Definitions
- the invention relates to a control valve for supplying a cleaning liquid to the nozzle opening of a nozzle of a washing system for vehicle windows, a nozzle arrangement and a washing system.
- a control valve for supplying a cleaning liquid to nozzle openings of a nozzle of a washing system for vehicle windows has become known, the valve having two outlets which can be coupled to the nozzle openings, the valve having an inflow which is connected to a feed pump for the cleaning liquid can be coupled, and a valve body influencing the path of the cleaning liquid from the inflow to the outflows is provided.
- the valve is controlled electromagnetically. It has been found to be disadvantageous that a power supply must be provided on the valve to control the valve. Furthermore, the provision of such a valve is complex and expensive due to the electromagnetic components.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a control valve of the type mentioned at the outset, a nozzle arrangement and a washing system, which enable targeted control of the valve in a simple manner.
- a control valve which is characterized in that the valve body can be controlled in at least two valve positions by the pressure of the cleaning liquid.
- the invention has the advantage that there are no components to be provided on the control valve which are fed by electrical current. Furthermore, no components are required which control the valve body via additional means.
- the invention has the advantage that the control of the valve body takes place exclusively via the pressure of the cleaning liquid. Depending on the pressure of the cleaning fluid, the valve body is in an intended valve position, which influences the path of the cleaning fluid from the inflow to the outflows.
- valve body is designed as a slide element, in particular as a longitudinal slide element.
- Longitudinal slide elements have the advantage that they are slidably mounted in the axial direction between the valve positions. Such storage can be implemented in a simple manner.
- rotary slide elements can also be provided, which have the advantage that they are rotatably mounted about their longitudinal axis to control the cleaning liquid. This leads to a very compact design of the control valve.
- valve body is designed as a piston slide element, in particular with two piston sections that have differently sized pressure application surfaces.
- piston slide elements can be produced with little effort and can be easily stored in corresponding cylinders.
- surface forces of different sizes at the piston sections which cause the piston valve element to be displaced into the respective valve position depending on the pressure of the cleaning fluid.
- valve is designed as a directional slide valve, in particular as a 3/2 way longitudinal slide valve or as a 3/3 way longitudinal slide valve.
- Such valves provide a total of three connections, namely one inflow and two outflows. Depending on the application, two or three valve positions are conceivable.
- valve body in the form of a spherical element
- a valve body in the form of a spherical element
- valve body can be switched back and forth between at least two valve positions.
- valve positions lie in the axial direction of the valve body. If the valve body is designed as a rotary slide element, the valve positions are dependent on the angle of rotation of the valve body. Providing only two valve positions has the advantage that both valve positions are valve end positions in which the position of the valve body can be defined by stops.
- An advantageous valve is characterized in that the valve body in a first valve position, in particular in a low pressure position, connects the inflow to the first termination or connects to the first and the second termination. It is thereby achieved that in the first valve position, cleaning liquid is fed to the nozzle opening or the nozzle openings, which is or are coupled to the first drain or to the first and the second drain. It can preferably be provided according to the invention that the valve body, in a second valve position, in particular a high pressure position, separates the inflow from the first outflow and connects the inflow to the second outflow. As a result, the cleaning liquid is diverted to that or those nozzle opening or nozzle openings which are or are coupled to the second outflow.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention results when a bypass is provided which bypasses the valve body in a valve position and connects the inflow to an outflow, the inlet or the outlet of the bypass being closed in at least one other valve position.
- This has the advantage that a cylindrical valve body can be used, which is inexpensive to manufacture and assemble.
- the inflow is connected to one outflow via the cylinder recess accommodating the valve body and / or the inflow is connected to the other outflow via the bypass.
- valve body in a first valve position, for example at low pressure, the inlet and the outlet of the bypass (and thus also the one outlet) are open.
- the other drain is closed by the valve body.
- a second valve position for example at high pressure, the outlet of the bypass is closed by axially displacing the valve body, as a result of which one outflow is separated from the inflow.
- the other outflow is then released in this valve position, so that cleaning liquid can flow into the outflow from the inflow.
- a basic position of the valve body is provided, in particular a zero pressure position, in which the valve body blocks the inflow of separates both drains.
- the valve body is advantageously in a check valve position. This prevents cleaning liquid from leaking out of the openings in the nozzle body.
- valve body In order to enable an intended position of the valve body in the various valve positions, it can be provided that the valve body is acted upon by the spring force of a spring element, in particular a helical spring, in at least one valve position.
- a spring element in particular a helical spring
- valve body is acted upon by the spring force against a stop in at least one valve position. In this way, a defined position of the valve body can be ensured.
- valve body acts in at least one valve position only against the spring force of the spring element, without being acted upon against a stop.
- the valve body is in a floating valve position in which there is an equilibrium of forces between the spring force and the force resulting from the pressure of the cleaning liquid.
- the valve is advantageously arranged in the nozzle body of a nozzle.
- the nozzle comprising the valve can be manufactured, handled and assembled as a one-piece component. Another advantage of this design is that separate lines between the valve and the nozzle, for example in the form of hoses, are eliminated.
- valve between the feed pump and the nozzle.
- the valve can be designed as a separate component.
- the valve is part of the feed pump and is arranged inside the feed pump.
- a nozzle arrangement with at least one nozzle and with a control valve according to the invention connected to the nozzle opening of the nozzle and in particular accommodated in the nozzle body of the nozzle.
- Such a nozzle arrangement advantageously provides that the nozzle is suitable for generating different types of liquid jets depending on the pressure of the cleaning liquid, and thus on the liquid channel via which the cleaning liquid is supplied to the respective nozzle opening. It is conceivable, for example, that liquid jets are generated in the form of spot jets when the cleaning liquid is supplied via the one liquid channel, and a liquid jet in the form of a flat jet is generated when the cleaning liquid is supplied via the other liquid channel.
- a washing system for vehicle windows with a nozzle arrangement according to the invention and with a feed pump for the cleaning liquid coupled to the nozzle arrangement.
- the inflow of the valve is connected via a liquid line to a feed pump which supplies the cleaning liquid in a controlled manner at different pressures.
- the feed pump can be a pump that is controlled or regulated in its speed. It is particularly advantageous if the pump delivers the cleaning liquid at different pressure in the case of different directions of rotation.
- the pressure of the feed pump is advantageously controlled as a function of the vehicle speed. For example, a low pressure can be generated at a vehicle speed below 80 km / h, which is, for example, between 0.2 and 1.4 bar. If the vehicle speed increases to over 80 km / h, the pressure achieved by the feed pump becomes the
- Cleaning liquid for example, increased to 1.4 or more bar.
- the outlet of the valve is advantageously opened, which leads to the generation of a flat and / or flat jet.
- Vehicle speed that is greater than 80 km / h the inflow is advantageously controlled, which leads to the generation of a point beam or several point beams.
- Figure 1 shows a washing system according to the invention in a systematic representation
- Figure 2 shows a nozzle arrangement according to the invention
- Figure 8 shows another nozzle arrangement according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a washing system 10 which comprises a nozzle arrangement 12, a control valve 14, a feed pump 16 and a line 18 between the feed pump 16 and the nozzle arrangement 12.
- the nozzle arrangement 12 has a nozzle 20 with a nozzle body 22 and a nozzle opening 23 on.
- the nozzle 20 or the valve 14 provides a feed line 24 which can be detachably connected to the line 18.
- the control valve 14 provides a total of two outlets 26, 28 which are connected to a swirl chamber 34 via liquid channels 30, 32.
- the channel 32 is arranged such that a liquid jet flowing through the channel 30 axially crosses the swirl chamber 34 and runs through the outlet section 38, which is arranged between the swirl chamber 34 and the nozzle opening 23.
- Such a liquid jet which is designated by reference numeral 40, hits the window 42 of a vehicle, not shown, as a point jet.
- the axis of the spot beam 40 is provided with the reference number 44.
- the cleaning liquid enters the swirl chamber 34 via the outlet 28, it is swirled there and fed to the nozzle opening 23 via the outlet section 38. Because of the turbulence, the cleaning liquid emerges as a flat or conical jet 46 from the nozzle opening 23 and strikes the disk 42 over a large area.
- the geometry of the jet shape 40, 46 consequently depends on the outlet 26, 28 or the channel 30, 32 via which Cleaning fluid is supplied to the swirl chamber 34. It is also conceivable that both drains 26, 28 are supplied with cleaning liquid, so that a mixed jet shape of the two jets 40 and 46 is generated.
- the feed pump 16 can be, for example, a pump whose speed is controlled or regulated. It supplies the cleaning liquid with different pressures, namely on the one hand with a low pressure Pi and a high pressure P 2 .
- the low pressure Pi is advantageously between 0.2 and 1.4 bar.
- the high pressure P 2 is advantageously above 1.4 bar. It is conceivable that the feed pump 16 is controlled as a function of the vehicle speed. It can be provided here that the pump contains the cleaning liquid at vehicle speeds below 80 km / h with the pressure Pi and at vehicle speeds above 80 km / h with high pressure P 2 .
- the path of the cleaning liquid coming from the feed pump 16 to the outflows 26, 28 is influenced via the control valve.
- the control valve 14 is activated by the pressure of the cleaning liquid present at the inflow 24 of the valve 14.
- the valve 14 is pressure controlled.
- the nozzle arrangement 12 can be a nozzle arrangement 12.1 according to. Figure 2 or 12.2 acc. Figure 8 act.
- the valve denoted by 14 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 can be a valve 14.1 to 14.6 shown in FIGS. 3 to 8.
- FIG. 2 in which a somewhat different nozzle arrangement 12.1 is shown, components corresponding to FIG. 1 are identified by the same reference numerals.
- the nozzle body 22 of the nozzle 20 provides two different nozzle openings 23.1 and 23.2.
- the nozzle opening 23.1 can be provided to generate a point jet.
- the nozzle opening 23.2 can be used to generate a flat jet.
- the cleaning liquid supplied via the inflow 24 is assigned to either the outflow 26 and / or the outflow 28.
- valves 14.1. to 14.5 which can be used in a washing system 10 according to FIG. 1 or a nozzle arrangement 12 according to FIG. 1 or FIG.
- the inflows of the valves 14.1. to 14.5 all have the reference number 24 and the two outlets 26, 28.
- a 3/2-way ball valve is shown in FIG.
- a ball element 50 is provided as the valve body, which is shown in its neutral zero pressure position. About one In this zero pressure position, the spring element 52 closes the inflow 24 by the ball element 52 resting on the inflow-side valve seat 54.
- the ball element 50 When the pressure on the cleaning liquid is increased to a low pressure Pi, the ball element 50 lifts off its valve seat 54 against the spring force of the spring element 52. Liquid can flow into the valve chamber 56.
- the low pressure P x and the spring force of the spring element 52 are matched to one another in such a way that the ball element 50 floats in a floating state between the valve seat 54 at the inlet 24 and a second valve seat 58 at the outlet 26. This means that the cleaning liquid can flow out to both drains 26, 28.
- valve 14.1 When the high pressure P 2 or the low pressure P x is removed, the valve 14.1 is closed due to the spring force of the spring element 52, it then acts as a check valve.
- the valve 14.2 shown in FIG. 4 essentially corresponds to the valve 14.1 according to FIG. 3.
- the valve 14.2 is provided with a spring-loaded, cylindrical sliding pin 60, which comprises an annular collar 64 which is tightly fitted to a valve seat 62 in the zero pressure position .
- the push pin 60 has the advantage that it is designed such that it is not possible for the push pin 60 to buckle along the axial direction of displacement.
- the push pin 60 provides on its side facing the inflow 24 a guide section 66 which is relatively long in the axial direction.
- the push pin 60 On the drain 26 facing On the side, the push pin 60 has a guide section 68, which is caught in the spring element 52.
- Valve 14.2 according to FIG. 4 provides a total of three valve positions corresponding to valve 14.1 according to FIG. 3, namely the zero pressure position shown, a low pressure position in which both outlets 26, 28 are open and a high pressure position in which only outlet 28 is open ,
- the valve 14.3 shown in FIG. 5 is a 3/2 longitudinal slide valve. This valve does not provide a check valve position in which the inflow 24 is completely separated from the outflows 26, 28. Either the inflow 24 is connected to the outflow 26 or the inflow 24 is connected to the outflow 28.
- the valve body 70 is designed as a piston slide element with two piston sections 72 and 70 of different sizes. In the basic position shown, the piston section 74 is urged against the stop means 76 via a spring element 52.
- the diameter of the piston sections 72 and 74 and the spring force of the spring element 52 are each designed such that when a welding pressure is reached or when the liquid pressure is high, the piston slide element 70 is displaced axially to the left against the spring force of the spring element 52.
- connection of the inflow 24 to the outflow 26 is disconnected and the inflow 24 is connected to the outflow 28.
- the piston slide element 70 is returned to the basic position shown in FIG. 5 due to the spring force of the spring element 52.
- the drain 28 is then closed and the drain 26 opened.
- the valve 14.4 shown in FIG. 6 is a further development of the valve 14.3.
- a third Switch position of the piston slide element 70 is provided, in which both drains 26 and 28 are closed.
- the piston slide element is pushed to the right against the stop pin 78 due to the spring force of the spring element 52.
- the outflow 26 is closed by the piston section 72 and the outflow 28 by the piston section 74.
- the piston slide element 70 moves into the position shown in FIG. In this case, there is a balance of forces between the spring force acting on the piston slide element 70 to the right and that
- Piston slide element 70 to the left acting force, which results from the cleaning liquid applied to the piston sections 70, 74 under low pressure Pi. In this position, the outflow 28 is separated from the inflow 24 by the piston section 74. If the pressure of the cleaning liquid is increased to high pressure P 2 , the piston slide element 70 moves further to the left against the spring force, so that the outflow 26 is separated from the inflow 24.
- the valve shown in FIG. 6 is consequently a 3/3 way longitudinal slide valve.
- FIG. 7 is designed as a 3/2 way longitudinal slide valve.
- the piston slide element 80 provides two piston sections 82 and 84 which have a different diameter.
- P x When a low pressure P x is applied , the cleaning liquid flows only via the inflow 24 to the outflow 26. If the pressure is increased to a high pressure P 2 , the piston slide element 80 moves to the left against the spring force of the spring 52, the outflow 26 becomes the inflow 24 separated; the drain 28 is connected to the inflow 24.
- the valves 14.1 shown in FIGS. 3 to 7. to 14.5 have the advantage that only one valve body 50, 60, 70, 80 pressure-controlled between two or three switching positions is provided. No external funds are required to control the valve body.
- the valves can be made so small that they can be accommodated within a nozzle body of a nozzle in accordance with the embodiment according to FIG.
- FIG. 1 A cylindrical valve body 90 of a valve 14.6 is in this case axially displaceable in a cylinder recess 92 between a total of three switching positions against the spring force of the spring element 52.
- both outlets 26, 28 are separated from the inflow 24.
- the valve body 90 moves so far against the spring force of the spring 52 that the inlet 94 of a bypass 96 is opened.
- the drain 26 remains closed by the valve body 90.
- the bypass 96 opens via its outlet 98 into the area of the cylinder recess 92 facing the outlet 28.
- the spring force of the spring element 52 is designed here such that when the low pressure Pi is applied, a force equilibrium between the spring force and that from the end face 100 of the valve body 90 force resulting with cleaning fluid acting on low pressure Pi.
- valve body 90 When the pressure of the cleaning liquid increases to the high pressure P 2 , the valve body 90 is displaced further against the spring force, as a result of which the outflow 26 is connected to the inflow 24 and the outlet 98 is separated from the outflow 28. As a result, cleaning fluid then flows via the inlet 24 and the outlet 26 or the channel 30 to the nozzle opening 23.1.
- the valve 14.6 integrated in the nozzle arrangement 12.2 has the advantage that it makes do with a piston slide element 90 which is cylindrical and consequently does not provide any different piston sections. The manufacture and assembly of such a valve 14.6 can be implemented in a simple manner.
- the cylinder recess 92 provides a total of five connections, namely the inlet 24, the inlet 94 of the bypass 96 near the inlet 24, the outlet 26, the outlet 98 of the bypass 96 near the outlet 28 and the outlet 28.
- cleaning liquid can flow via the inflow 24 to the outflows 26, 28.
- the axial distance between the inlet 94 and the outlet 98 of the bypass 96 is dimensioned such that it is somewhat larger than the axial longitudinal extent of the valve body 90. This ensures that a flow around the valve body 90 via the bypass 96 is possible.
- the axial distance between the outlet 26 and the outlet 98 is dimensioned such that it is slightly smaller than the axial longitudinal extension of the valve body 90. This ensures that the outlet 98 is closed before the outlet 26 is opened. This can ensure that a pressure drop cannot occur due to the simultaneous opening of the outlet 26 and the outlet 98 or the outlet 28.
- the nozzle arrangement 12.2 shown in FIG. 8 also has the advantage that the valve body 90 is arranged axially to the inflow 24. This made the nozzle arrangement 12.3 very compact.
- the inflow 24 is arranged on one end of the cylinder recess 92 and the outflow 28 on the opposite end. This also contributes to a compact construction of the nozzle arrangement 12.3.
- valves 14 are separate Assembly between the respective nozzles 20 and the feed pump 16 are present, as shown for example in Figure 2.
